SPACE DEFENDER VR — Meta Quest

The launch

1 · Hold

Engines spin up around you in the hangar tunnel. Nothing to do but look around the cockpit and wait for the call.

2 · Roll out

The ship pulls forward on its own and the blast door ahead grinds open onto open space.

3 · Your ship

Clear of the door, control hands over. Stick to steer, throttle to push, grip either controller to boost.

4 · Contact

Alien fighters break from the mothership and come at you from every bearing. Guns hot.

What's inside

Your own cockpit. A real modelled flight deck you sit inside, not a floating HUD — look anywhere and the ship is around you.
Two weapons. Machine guns throwing red tracer, and heat-seeking missiles off the rails for the heavy work.
Boost. Squeeze either grip and the ship leans into it — 20 to 90 m/s, with the vignette closing in as you go.
Fighters that shoot back. Alien craft launch from the mothership, take bearings on you, and return fire.
Kill the mothership. It has armour and it dims as you break it down — no health bar, just the ship going dark.
Runs at 72 fps. Locked frame rate on Quest with no internet connection needed.

Before you fly

Comfort: Intense. This is first-person flight with real acceleration and camera movement. There is no roll, pitch is clamped, and a vignette narrows as you turn and boost — but if you are sensitive to motion, start seated and take it in short sessions.
